Trump: Khamenei Should Be Very Concerned

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Wednesday, February 4, in an interview with NBC News that the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran "should be very concerned."

Mr. Trump continued by stating that the U.S. is currently negotiating with Iran and, in response to a question about supporting Iranian protesters, said, "We have supported them."

Meanwhile, Axios reported that U.S. officials have rejected Iran's request to change the location of the scheduled negotiations for Friday. According to two American officials, Washington has decided not to change the designated location for these talks. Axios has interpreted these developments as a sign of the cancellation of negotiations, but official representatives from both sides had not responded to this report by the time this news was published.

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, on Wednesday announced Washington's readiness to continue talks with the Islamic Republic, emphasizing that any negotiations must be "meaningful" and include a range of topics such as "the nuclear program, ballistic missile program, support for armed groups in the region, and the government's treatment of the Iranian people."
He said, "If the Iranians want to meet, we are ready. They have expressed interest in dialogue... I'm not sure if we can reach an agreement with 'these people,' but let's see what happens."
According to the New York Post, Rubio also expressed hope that internal pressures could ultimately lead to a change of government in Tehran, and referring to the gap between the Iranian people and the ruling authority, he added, "I don't know of another country where the difference between those who govern and those who live there is so great."
He said, "Our long-term hope lies precisely in this reality."
